Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Well done is better than well said.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
It's always too early to quit.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
