Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Who seeks shall find.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Fling but a stone, the giant dies.
