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

Know or listen to those who know.

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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
