Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

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

You never know what motivates you.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
