Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
You never know what motivates you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.
Silence and reserve will give anyone a reputation for wisdom.
