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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Never complain and never explain.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

It's always too early to quit.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
