Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

You never know what motivates you.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

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