Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

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

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
