Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Know or listen to those who know.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

I can, therefore I am.
