Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
