The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
You never know what motivates you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.
