Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Well done is better than well said.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Who seeks shall find.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

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