Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
I can, therefore I am.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Incongruity, they say, is one of the main ingredients of humor. Maybe it's because everybody can feel superior to me. I honestly don't know.
