Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

It's always too early to quit.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

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