Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.
