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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Only the educated are free.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
