If you've got a talent, protect it.
Only the educated are free.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Who seeks shall find.
Well done is better than well said.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
I used to joke that if acting didn't work out, poetry was my commonsense fallback.
