Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
After a storm comes a calm.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Only the educated are free.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
It was a fantastic learning experience and OK, I got slammed because I wasn't Audrey Hepburn but you could have predicted that, really, if you'd opened your eyes wide enough.
