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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Never complain and never explain.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

It's always too early to quit.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
