Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
After a storm comes a calm.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be thankful for problems. If they were less difficult, someone with less ability might have your job.
