Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Know or listen to those who know.
He who devotes sixteen hours a day to hard study may become at sixty as wise as he thought himself at twenty.
