Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Well done is better than well said.

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

Always desire to learn something useful.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
