Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Well done is better than well said.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
