Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Know or listen to those who know.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
After a storm comes a calm.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Beauty is altogether in the eye of the beholder.
