If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Self-preservation, nature's first great law, all the creatures, except man, doth awe.
