Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Who seeks shall find.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
After a storm comes a calm.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If a weakly mortal is to do anything in the world besides eat the bread thereof, there must be a determined subordination of the whole nature to the one aim no trifling with time, which is passing, with strength which is only too limited.
