If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Know or listen to those who know.

Never complain and never explain.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
