Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you think you can do it, you can.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Well done is better than well said.
