Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Never complain and never explain.

It's always too early to quit.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
