Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Who seeks shall find.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Know or listen to those who know.
I am sure that no man can derive more pleasure from money or power than I do from seeing a pair of basketball goals in some out of the way place.
