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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Always desire to learn something useful.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Never complain and never explain.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
