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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

I can, therefore I am.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Only the educated are free.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
