Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
You never know what motivates you.
Never complain and never explain.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Always think of what is useful and not what is beautiful. Beauty will come of its own accord.
We ought to thank God for that. Yes, the man who tills the land is more worthy of respect than any.
