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

If you think you can do it, you can.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Know or listen to those who know.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
