The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Who seeks shall find.
Only the educated are free.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
A realist, in Venice, would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him.
