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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

You never know what motivates you.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Know or listen to those who know.

Never complain and never explain.
