Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
After a storm comes a calm.
