Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

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

Always desire to learn something useful.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
