Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Wherever you are - be all there.

Never complain and never explain.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
