Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Who seeks shall find.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Well done is better than well said.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Every dictator is an enemy of freedom, an opponent of law.
Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.
