Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If money, education, and honesty will not bring to me as much privilege, as much equality as they bring to any American citizen, then they are to me a curse, and not a blessing.
