Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Only the educated are free.
You never know what motivates you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Know or listen to those who know.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
After a storm comes a calm.
You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older.
