If you've got a talent, protect it.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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

It's always too early to quit.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
