Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Know or listen to those who know.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Well done is better than well said.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

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