Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Know or listen to those who know.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
