Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Always desire to learn something useful.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
