Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you think you can do it, you can.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
You never know what motivates you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
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.
