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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

I can, therefore I am.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Well done is better than well said.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
