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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Never complain and never explain.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Well done is better than well said.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
