By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

It's always too early to quit.

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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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