By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

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

If you're going through hell, keep going.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

I can, therefore I am.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Know or listen to those who know.
