You never know what motivates you.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
