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

Never complain and never explain.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Well done is better than well said.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Leap, and the net will appear.

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