The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
After a storm comes a calm.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true.
