Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
You never know what motivates you.
Only the educated are free.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.
