Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Well done is better than well said.
You never know what motivates you.
It's always too early to quit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Who seeks shall find.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Middle age is when a guy keeps turning off lights for economical rather than romantic reasons.
