Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Who seeks shall find.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Put a bridle on thy tongue set a guard before thy lips, lest the words of thine own mouth destroy thy peace... on much speaking cometh repentance, but in silence is safety.
