Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Know or listen to those who know.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Well done is better than well said.

You never know what motivates you.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
