Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

I can, therefore I am.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Who seeks shall find.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
