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

You never know what motivates you.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
