Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Always desire to learn something useful.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Only the educated are free.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future.
