Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Only the educated are free.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Know or listen to those who know.
Never complain and never explain.
