There ain't no free lunches in this country. And don't go spending your whole life commiserating that you got raw deals. You've got to say, 'I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it.'
It is not enough to aim; you must hit.
True friends are those who really know you but love you anyway.
To do anything truly worth doing, I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can.
All that is human must retrograde if it does not advance.
Refuse to be ill. Never tell people you are ill; never own it to yourself. Illness is one of those things which a man should resist on principle.
Beware the pull on your heartstrings -- it's often the pursestrings that are actually being reached for.
