Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Well done is better than well said.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Know or listen to those who know.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
It's hard now to imagine that kind of travel and the daily tasks they simply took for granted. If a wagon axle broke, you had to stop and carve a new one. To cross a river, you sometimes had to build a raft.
