If you've got a talent, protect it.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Know or listen to those who know.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

It's always too early to quit.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
