Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Only the educated are free.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it.
