The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Know or listen to those who know.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Wherever you are - be all there.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

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