Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Who seeks shall find.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Even in decline, a virtuous man increases the beauty of his behavior. A burning stick, though turned to the ground, has its flame drawn upwards.
