Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
After a storm comes a calm.
Who seeks shall find.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
You never know what motivates you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
But if people want to swim in the Thames, if they want to take their lives into their own hands, then they should be able to do so with all the freedom and exhilaration of our woad-painted ancestors.
