Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
I enjoyed being involved in team sports and making close friendships.
