Never complain and never explain.
Know or listen to those who know.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
I think Bond the character is distinct: He's British, he has a certain code that he lives by, he's incorruptible... he's a classical hero, but he's also fallible. He has inner demons, inner conflicts, and he's a romantic.
