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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Never complain and never explain.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

I can, therefore I am.

Know or listen to those who know.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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