Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

You never know what motivates you.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Only the educated are free.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
