Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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

If you think you can do it, you can.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Always desire to learn something useful.

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

Know or listen to those who know.
