Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Know or listen to those who know.
Only the educated are free.
It's always too early to quit.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Tell me not of joy: there's none Now my little sparrow's gone He, just as you, Would toy and woo, He would chirp and flatter me, He would hang the wing awhile, Till at length he saw me smile, Lord! how sullen he would be!
