Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
After a storm comes a calm.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Never complain and never explain.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
When a child, my dreams rode on your wishes, I was your son, high on your horse, My mind a top whipped by the lashes Of your rhetoric, windy of course.
Great poetry is always written by somebody straining to go beyond what he can do.
