Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you think you can do it, you can.

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

It's always too early to quit.
