Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Never complain and never explain.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
