Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Ugliness is in a way superior to beauty because it lasts.
