Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Well done is better than well said.
Only the educated are free.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
But I fear, my lot being cast in Scotland, that beauty would not be content.
In our romantic groves I adored her like a divinity.
Consider what a romantic expedition you are on take notes.
