Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Well done is better than well said.

Leap, and the net will appear.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Only the educated are free.
