Always desire to learn something useful.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Well done is better than well said.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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