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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Know or listen to those who know.

Well done is better than well said.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
