Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
