Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
It's always too early to quit.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
And in that I cannot send unto you all my businesses in writing, I despatch these present bearers fully informed in all things, to whom it may please you to give faith and credence in what they shall say unto you by word of mouth.
