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

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

You never know what motivates you.

Well done is better than well said.
