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

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.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

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

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Never complain and never explain.
