Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

After a storm comes a calm.

Well done is better than well said.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you think you can do it, you can.
