Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Know or listen to those who know.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
