Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Well done is better than well said.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

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

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

After a storm comes a calm.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
