Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Let me read you some of my poetry. My poetry just takes me to another level.
