Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
You never know what motivates you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
Even in decline, a virtuous man increases the beauty of his behavior. A burning stick, though turned to the ground, has its flame drawn upwards.
