Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Well done is better than well said.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
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.
