The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.
To travel hopefully is better than to arrive.
