Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Who seeks shall find.
Know or listen to those who know.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
