Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
After a storm comes a calm.
Only the educated are free.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Never complain and never explain.
It's always too early to quit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
Frankly, the reason I joined MENSA is because I was dating a guy at the time who spoke five languages and could solve a Rubik's Cube literally with his eyes closed because it's just an algorithm.
