Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
Who seeks shall find.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
A sense of humor is the ability to understand a joke - and that the joke is oneself.
