Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Who seeks shall find.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
