Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Well done is better than well said.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
It's always too early to quit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
At Christmas, 'It's a Wonderful Life' makes me cry in exactly the same places every time, even though I know it's coming.
