Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Only the educated are free.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Pessimism is only the name that men of weak nerves give to wisdom.
