Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Well done is better than well said.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Know or listen to those who know.
