Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

After a storm comes a calm.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Leap, and the net will appear.

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