If you've got a talent, protect it.

You never know what motivates you.

It's always too early to quit.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
