Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

After a storm comes a calm.

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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

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

Only the educated are free.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
