After a storm comes a calm.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Who seeks shall find.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
My birth neither shook the German Empire nor caused much of an upheaval in the home. It pleased mother, caused father a certain amount of pride and my elder brother the usual fraternal jealousy of a hitherto only son.
