To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
