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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Never complain and never explain.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

After a storm comes a calm.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

You never know what motivates you.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
