Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
After a storm comes a calm.
Life is the only real counselor wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue.
