If you've got a talent, protect it.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
