Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Well done is better than well said.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Whatever success I've had, I always like to top it.
