By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Always desire to learn something useful.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
But look, you did not have to be well versed in politics to know that some stupid things were going on. It is the counsel's job to stop them, and instead the coverup was created.
