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

Always desire to learn something useful.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Only the educated are free.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
