Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Well done is better than well said.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
