Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Well done is better than well said.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.
