Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
It's always too early to quit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
You never know what motivates you.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
