Only the educated are free.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
You never know what motivates you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
Too much good fortune can make you smug and unaware. Happiness should be like an oasis, the greener for the desert that surrounds it.
