Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Know or listen to those who know.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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