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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Never complain and never explain.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Always desire to learn something useful.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
