Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Leap, and the net will appear.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Know or listen to those who know.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
