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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Well done is better than well said.

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

Always desire to learn something useful.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
