Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
I can, therefore I am.
Who seeks shall find.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
