Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Never complain and never explain.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Well done is better than well said.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you think you can do it, you can.
You never know what motivates you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Each has its lesson for our dreams in sooth, come they in shape of demons, gods, or elves, are allegories with deep hearts of truth that tell us solemn secrets of ourselves.
