Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
After a storm comes a calm.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Who seeks shall find.
