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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

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

If you can dream it, you can do it.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
