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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

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