Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

After a storm comes a calm.

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

Always desire to learn something useful.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

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

Know or listen to those who know.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.
