Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
I can, therefore I am.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
What I learned growing up on the farm was a way of life that was centered on hard work, and on faith and on thrift. Those values have stuck with me my whole life.
