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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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