Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
It's always too early to quit.
Well done is better than well said.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Never complain and never explain.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Only the educated are free.
Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.
I never expect to see a perfect work from an imperfect man.
