Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

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

Well done is better than well said.

Leap, and the net will appear.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
