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

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

If you're going through hell, keep going.
