The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
After a storm comes a calm.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Know or listen to those who know.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Well done is better than well said.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
You never know what motivates you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Crabbed and obscure definitions are of no use beyond a narrow circle of students, of whom probably every one has a pet one of his own.
