Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Who seeks shall find.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
It's always too early to quit.
