Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Know or listen to those who know.

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

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

You never know what motivates you.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
