Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Well done is better than well said.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
