Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

It's always too early to quit.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Know or listen to those who know.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
