Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Who seeks shall find.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

Know or listen to those who know.
