Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
You never know what motivates you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
After a storm comes a calm.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
For me, French is so rich and so sacred that learning it is like learning a foreign language.
