Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
After a storm comes a calm.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Always desire to learn something useful.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence.
