Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Well done is better than well said.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

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

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Always desire to learn something useful.
