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

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

I can, therefore I am.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
