By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Never complain and never explain.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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