If you've got a talent, protect it.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
