Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
It's always too early to quit.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
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.
