Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Well done is better than well said.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Who seeks shall find.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
You can't set a hen in one morning and have chicken salad for lunch.
It's a terribly hard job to spend a billion dollars and get your money's worth.
