What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Never complain and never explain.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
