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

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

I can, therefore I am.

Never complain and never explain.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
