Always desire to learn something useful.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Well done is better than well said.
Even in decline, a virtuous man increases the beauty of his behavior. A burning stick, though turned to the ground, has its flame drawn upwards.
