Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Well done is better than well said.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
