Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
You never know what motivates you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Well done is better than well said.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
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.
