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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Know or listen to those who know.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Wherever you are - be all there.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
