Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
