Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Only the educated are free.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
