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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

Know or listen to those who know.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Well done is better than well said.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
