Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Never complain and never explain.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The most absurd and reckless aspirations have sometimes led to extraordinary success.
Vice stirs up war, virtue fights.
