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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Know or listen to those who know.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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

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