The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
You never know what motivates you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Those who wish well to the State ought to choose to places of trust men of inward principle, justified by exemplary conversation.
