Either you run the day or the day runs you.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Always desire to learn something useful.

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

Well done is better than well said.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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