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

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
