Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Only the educated are free.

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

Always desire to learn something useful.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

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

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
