Never complain and never explain.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
