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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
