Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Well done is better than well said.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I can, therefore I am.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Know or listen to those who know.
You never know what motivates you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Every day is a good day to be alive, whether the sun's shining or not.
