You must take the good with the bad.
You needn't have 100 roubles but you need to have 100 friends.
You must make the most of the chances you get.
Good men may die but death cannot kill their names.
If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
You don't have to be a weather man to know which way the wind blows.
You must learn to walk before you can run.
If you are lazy now, you will have to work harder later.
