Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
I've done an informal, anecdotal survey about marriage, and I've found no evidence that it brings happiness.
