The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Well done is better than well said.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
As human beings we do change, grow, adapt, perhaps even learn and become wiser.
