The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Never complain and never explain.
In a happy marriage it is the wife who provides the climate, the husband the landscape.
The cliche is dead poetry.
Wisdom is keeping a sense of fallibility of all our views and opinions.
