Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
You never know what motivates you.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Only the educated are free.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright.
