Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
