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

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Always desire to learn something useful.

It's always too early to quit.
