Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Well done is better than well said.

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

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

You never know what motivates you.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
