Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Well done is better than well said.

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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Know or listen to those who know.
