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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Know or listen to those who know.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Never complain and never explain.
