Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Know or listen to those who know.
Only the educated are free.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
