Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
It's always too early to quit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Know or listen to those who know.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt - it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn't want to go anywhere else.
