Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

After a storm comes a calm.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
