Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Know or listen to those who know.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
