Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
It's always too early to quit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak and at last some crisis shows what we have become.
