Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Who seeks shall find.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

Well done is better than well said.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
