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

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Well done is better than well said.

Never complain and never explain.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
