Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
