Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Only the educated are free.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.
