Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
After a storm comes a calm.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never judge someone by who he's in love with judge him by his friends. People fall in love with the most appalling people. Take a cool, appraising glance at his pals.
