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

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

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Only the educated are free.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Never complain and never explain.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
