Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
It's always too early to quit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.
