Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Never complain and never explain.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
