What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
You never know what motivates you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
