Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
You never know what motivates you.
Who seeks shall find.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
