Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Only the educated are free.
I can, therefore I am.
Never complain and never explain.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
