The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Never complain and never explain.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
