Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Wherever you are - be all there.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

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