The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Well done is better than well said.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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