Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

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

Leap, and the net will appear.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
