Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Well done is better than well said.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
