Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
When you're used to being prepared to reject conventional wisdom, it leaves you open to learn more.
