Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Know or listen to those who know.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
