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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

After a storm comes a calm.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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