Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
After a storm comes a calm.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
And as far as false hope, there is no such thing. There is only hope or the absence of hope-nothing else.
