Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Know or listen to those who know.
Only the educated are free.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
It scares you: all the noise, the rattling, the shaking. But the look on everybody's face when you're finished and packing, it's the best smile in the world and there's nobody hurt, and the well's under control.
