The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

I can, therefore I am.

Never complain and never explain.

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