Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
After a storm comes a calm.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Could I have but a line a century hence crediting a contribution to the advance of peace, I would yield every honor which has been accorded by war.
