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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

You never know what motivates you.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Only the educated are free.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
