Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
After a storm comes a calm.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Tell me not of joy: there's none Now my little sparrow's gone He, just as you, Would toy and woo, He would chirp and flatter me, He would hang the wing awhile, Till at length he saw me smile, Lord! how sullen he would be!
