The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
You never know what motivates you.
It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
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.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Leap, and the net will appear.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Seeing unhappiness in the marriage of friends, I was content to have chosen music and laughter as a substitute for a husband.
