Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
I can, therefore I am.
Only the educated are free.
Know or listen to those who know.
