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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Only the educated are free.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
