Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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

Well done is better than well said.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
