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

You never know what motivates you.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Never complain and never explain.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
