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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

Never complain and never explain.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
