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

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

After a storm comes a calm.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Well done is better than well said.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
