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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Always desire to learn something useful.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Know or listen to those who know.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
