Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Who seeks shall find.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Know or listen to those who know.
In the end I didn't get a top car any more. I had no toughness left. That was the reality.
