Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you think you can do it, you can.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Always desire to learn something useful.

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