Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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

Well done is better than well said.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

If you think you can do it, you can.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
