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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Only the educated are free.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Well done is better than well said.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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