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

Know or listen to those who know.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
