Know or listen to those who know.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

It's always too early to quit.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
