Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

It's always too early to quit.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Never complain and never explain.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Always desire to learn something useful.
