Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Who seeks shall find.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
