Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
