Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Only the educated are free.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The musician is perhaps the most modest of animals, but he is also the proudest. It is he who invented the sublime art of ruining poetry.
