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

Know or listen to those who know.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Well done is better than well said.

Never complain and never explain.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
