The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Only the educated are free.
Know or listen to those who know.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
You never know what motivates you.
Try as hard as we may for perfection, the net result of our labors is an amazing variety of imperfectness. We are surprised at our own versatility in being able to fail in so many different ways.
