Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

After a storm comes a calm.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
