Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Well done is better than well said.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

After a storm comes a calm.

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

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
