Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Well done is better than well said.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
