Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Wherever you are - be all there.
After a storm comes a calm.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
