Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you want to really know what your friends and family think of you die broke, and then see who shows up for the funeral.
