If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
After a storm comes a calm.
Always desire to learn something useful.
We may smile at these matters, but they are melancholy illustrations.
