Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Well done is better than well said.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Never complain and never explain.
A little learning is a dangerous thing, but a lot of ignorance is just as bad.
