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

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Well done is better than well said.

If you think you can do it, you can.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
