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

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
