Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
It's always too early to quit.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
That's why I never became a director. I never had patience with people.
