To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Only the educated are free.
