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

Always desire to learn something useful.

Leap, and the net will appear.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
