Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
