If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Never complain and never explain.

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

If you think you can do it, you can.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
