Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

After a storm comes a calm.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

If you think you can do it, you can.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
