Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Know or listen to those who know.
Well done is better than well said.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Only the educated are free.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Who seeks shall find.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Beauty is only temporary, but your mind lasts you a lifetime.
But as I was saying, from my experiences, I think men tend to be more timid in expressing their feelings for you. Regardless, I always prefer a friendship first and foremost.
