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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Know or listen to those who know.
