Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
It's always too early to quit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Never complain and never explain.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Who seeks shall find.
Only the educated are free.
