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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Know or listen to those who know.

Well done is better than well said.

Never complain and never explain.

After a storm comes a calm.
