Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

It's always too early to quit.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

I can, therefore I am.
