Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

After a storm comes a calm.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

It's always too early to quit.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
