Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

After a storm comes a calm.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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