Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
Well done is better than well said.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
It's always too early to quit.
Nah, I don't watch TV either, apart from a few sports programmes. I just don't have the time.
