If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
After a storm comes a calm.
Well done is better than well said.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I was in three academic clubs, a huge book worm and the teacher's pet. I was kind of an easy target for bullies.
