Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Never complain and never explain.
Who seeks shall find.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Always desire to learn something useful.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Know or listen to those who know.
