Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
After a storm comes a calm.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Well done is better than well said.
Who seeks shall find.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
I grew up in a very religious family. I could read the Qu'ran easily at the age of five.
