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

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
