Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Who seeks shall find.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
It's always too early to quit.
