Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
You never know what motivates you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Well done is better than well said.
