Either you run the day or the day runs you.

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

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Know or listen to those who know.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
