The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
