Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Always desire to learn something useful.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

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