Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Never complain and never explain.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

You never know what motivates you.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
