The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Who seeks shall find.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you think you can do it, you can.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

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