Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Never complain and never explain.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
