Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
Oh, give us the man who sings at his work.
The only happiness a brave person ever troubles themselves in asking about, is happiness enough to get their work done.
