Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Know or listen to those who know.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
