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

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Who seeks shall find.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
