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

You never know what motivates you.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Never complain and never explain.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.
