If you've got a talent, protect it.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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