Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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