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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

You never know what motivates you.

After a storm comes a calm.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Never complain and never explain.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
