Adversity is a good schoolmaster. Adversity makes strange bedfellows. Misery acquaints men with strange bedfellows. The most unlikely people will co-operate with one another when faced by a common danger. In life's earnest battle they only prevail, who daily march onward and never say fail.
Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
The secret of success is constancy of purpose. He that can have patience, can have what he will. A good name is easier lost than won.
