Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
