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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Know or listen to those who know.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
