Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Leap, and the net will appear.
You never know what motivates you.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Nobody ever chooses the already unfortunate as objects of his loyal friendship.
The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.
