Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Know or listen to those who know.

I can, therefore I am.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
