Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Who seeks shall find.
