Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Well done is better than well said.
Know or listen to those who know.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
