Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Know or listen to those who know.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Who seeks shall find.

After a storm comes a calm.

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