The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
