Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Always desire to learn something useful.

After a storm comes a calm.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
