Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
You never know what motivates you.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
There is no forgiveness in nature.
There is always a certain peace in being what one is, in being that completely.
