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

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

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
