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.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
You never know what motivates you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Perhaps naively I thought people understand what humor was, that it was invented by the human race to cope with the dark areas of life, problems and terrors.
