Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
There is even a happiness - that makes the heart afraid.
Some minds improve by travel, others, rather, resemble copper wire, or brass, which get the narrower by going farther.
