Only the educated are free.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.
When I was young, I did actually model and was much photographed by famous photographers. But I was always a bookworm.
