If you've got a talent, protect it.

It's always too early to quit.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Well done is better than well said.

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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
