Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Well done is better than well said.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Religion is no more possible without prayer than poetry without language, or music without atmosphere.
Grief is only the memory of widowed affections.
