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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

I can, therefore I am.

Never complain and never explain.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

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