Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Well done is better than well said.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
