Know or listen to those who know.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
It's always too early to quit.

Always desire to learn something useful.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
