Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Never complain and never explain.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
In high school, we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.
