Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Only the educated are free.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
You never know what motivates you.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Even God lends a hand to honest boldness.
Marriage, if one will face the truth, is an evil, but a necessary evil.
Culture makes all men gentle.
It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
