Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Know or listen to those who know.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
In the end I didn't get a top car any more. I had no toughness left. That was the reality.
