If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.
Know or listen to those who know.
I can, therefore I am.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
I hate to play the I-live-in-the-country card, but it really takes all of the 'pack the kids into the car and run from here to there' out of the equation.
