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

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
