Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

You never know what motivates you.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

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

Know or listen to those who know.
