Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

Wherever you are - be all there.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Know or listen to those who know.
