Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

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

Well done is better than well said.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

It's always too early to quit.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
