Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

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

Well done is better than well said.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

After a storm comes a calm.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
