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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

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

It's always too early to quit.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
