Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
After a storm comes a calm.
Wherever you are - be all there.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure. Great necessities call out great virtues.
If we mean to have heroes, statesmen and philosophers, we should have learned women.
