Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

You never know what motivates you.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
