Always desire to learn something useful.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

It's always too early to quit.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
