Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
After a storm comes a calm.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
