Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Well done is better than well said.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Who writes poetry imbibes honey from the poisoned lips of life.
