If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Know or listen to those who know.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it.
