Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

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