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

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
