You never know what motivates you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
