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

Know or listen to those who know.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
