Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

Always desire to learn something useful.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

It's always too early to quit.
