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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Well done is better than well said.

Know or listen to those who know.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
