Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

If you think you can do it, you can.

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

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Only the educated are free.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Well done is better than well said.
