The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
After a storm comes a calm.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
