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

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Well done is better than well said.

Know or listen to those who know.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
