Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Well done is better than well said.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

After a storm comes a calm.
