Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Well done is better than well said.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
