Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

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

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Know or listen to those who know.

You never know what motivates you.
