Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
You never know what motivates you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Who seeks shall find.
Bad things do happen in the world, like war, natural disasters, disease. But out of those situations always arise stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
