Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Who seeks shall find.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Leap, and the net will appear.
In war, there are no winners.
