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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Never complain and never explain.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Leap, and the net will appear.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
