Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

It's always too early to quit.

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

You never know what motivates you.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Always desire to learn something useful.
