Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

After a storm comes a calm.

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

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Always desire to learn something useful.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
