Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Never complain and never explain.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
I began even as a boy to realize how wide the world can be for a man of free intelligence.
