Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
After a storm comes a calm.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Only the educated are free.
Well done is better than well said.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
A realist, in Venice, would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him.
