If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
It's always too early to quit.
Know or listen to those who know.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Only the educated are free.
A discerning eye needs only a hint, and understatement leaves the imagination free to build its own elaborations.
