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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Who seeks shall find.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
