Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Only the educated are free.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
It's always too early to quit.
Never complain and never explain.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
That is a secondary teacher conception - the writer as an observer.
