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

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
