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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Know or listen to those who know.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
