Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
I can, therefore I am.
Never complain and never explain.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
After a storm comes a calm.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
