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

If you think you can do it, you can.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Well done is better than well said.

Know or listen to those who know.

You never know what motivates you.
