Know or listen to those who know.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
After a storm comes a calm.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous.
