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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Know or listen to those who know.

It's always too early to quit.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
