By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Well done is better than well said.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Know or listen to those who know.
