Know or listen to those who know.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

If you think you can do it, you can.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
