Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Caring for children is a dance between setting appropriate limits as caretakers and avoiding unnecessary power struggles that result in unhappiness.
