Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Know or listen to those who know.
