Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

It's always too early to quit.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

Well done is better than well said.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
