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

Never complain and never explain.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
