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

Well done is better than well said.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
