Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

I can, therefore I am.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

If you think you can do it, you can.
