Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

You never know what motivates you.

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

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

Well done is better than well said.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
