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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Know or listen to those who know.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Well done is better than well said.
