Use the dirt life throws at you to plant the seeds of your success.

Pain in the wilderness is an investment in pleasure in the Promised Land.

When life is sweet, be thankful, and rejoice; but when bitter, be strong, and persevere.

If you press grapes, wine will pour out; if you crush roses, perfume will pour out; if you afflict the talented, genius will pour out.

One who conquers the sea today is ready to conquer the ocean tomorrow.

You don’t command wind in the direction it blows, but you command a ship in the direction it sails.
