Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
I can, therefore I am.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
You never know what motivates you.
The odds are always against you no matter what your previous history is. You have to overcome the tendency to relax.
