If you've got a talent, protect it.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Know or listen to those who know.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
