Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Know or listen to those who know.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
I can, therefore I am.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Advise for anybody - enjoy what you are doing, enjoy the process of learning and don't be impatient.
