Know or listen to those who know.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

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

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
