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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

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

Only the educated are free.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
