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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Never complain and never explain.

After a storm comes a calm.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
