Know or listen to those who know.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

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

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Never complain and never explain.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
