If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
A discerning eye needs only a hint, and understatement leaves the imagination free to build its own elaborations.
