Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Well done is better than well said.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

It's always too early to quit.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
