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

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Never complain and never explain.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
