Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Well done is better than well said.

Never complain and never explain.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

You never know what motivates you.
