Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Only the educated are free.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
After a storm comes a calm.
Asking the author of historical novels to teach you about history is like expecting the composer of a melody to provide answers about radio transmission.
