Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

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

I can, therefore I am.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Never complain and never explain.
