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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Well done is better than well said.

After a storm comes a calm.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
