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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
