The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Never complain and never explain.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
