Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.
Minnesota
I have always been fond of the West African proverb "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far."
Our patience will achieve more than our force.
Force has no place where there is need of skill.
Believe you can and you're halfway there.
People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.
Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty.
