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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

I can, therefore I am.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
