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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Never complain and never explain.

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

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
