By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

Always desire to learn something useful.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

It's always too early to quit.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
