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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Only the educated are free.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
