The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
