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

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Never complain and never explain.

Know or listen to those who know.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Well done is better than well said.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
