The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
I can, therefore I am.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
Know or listen to those who know.
