Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Only the educated are free.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

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

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