If you've got a talent, protect it.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

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

If you can dream it, you can do it.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

It's always too early to quit.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
