Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
After a storm comes a calm.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
I can, therefore I am.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Never complain and never explain.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Living with the immediacy of death helps you sort out your priorities in life. It helps you to live a less trivial life.
