The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Who seeks shall find.
You never know what motivates you.
After a storm comes a calm.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The answer to old age is to keep one's mind busy and to go on with one's life as if it were interminable. I always admired Chekhov for building a new house when he was dying of tuberculosis.
