"Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!"

"Only the absolutely determined people succeed."

"I may not always be offered work, but I'll always have my family."

"To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow."

"Things may happen and often do to people as brainy and footsy as you."
