Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
You never know what motivates you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Who seeks shall find.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
