If you've got a talent, protect it.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Well done is better than well said.

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

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
