Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Know or listen to those who know.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed.
