Only the educated are free.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
It's always too early to quit.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
Never complain and never explain.
