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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Well done is better than well said.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
