Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Never complain and never explain.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

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

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