Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Only the educated are free.
It's always too early to quit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
After a storm comes a calm.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
I love the wry motto of the Paleontological Society, meant both literally and figuratively, for hammers are the main tool of our trade: Frango ut patefaciam - I break in order to reveal.
