Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Never complain and never explain.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Some people think I'm a total moron and I would hope most people think I'm very good at what I do.
