The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Know or listen to those who know.
