Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Never complain and never explain.
