Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Know or listen to those who know.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Only the educated are free.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Well-timed silence is the most commanding expression.
