Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you think you can do it, you can.
You never know what motivates you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Who seeks shall find.
It's always too early to quit.
