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

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
