Either you run the day or the day runs you.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
