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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Never complain and never explain.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
