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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

It's always too early to quit.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
