If you've got a talent, protect it.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
