Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak and at last some crisis shows what we have become.
