Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
I can, therefore I am.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Know or listen to those who know.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Ugliness is in a way superior to beauty because it lasts.
