If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Well done is better than well said.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
