Who seeks shall find.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Know or listen to those who know.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
