If you've got a talent, protect it.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Know or listen to those who know.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
