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

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

After a storm comes a calm.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
