Know or listen to those who know.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
Well done is better than well said.
It's always too early to quit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
