Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

I can, therefore I am.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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

Know or listen to those who know.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
