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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

It's always too early to quit.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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