If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Know or listen to those who know.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
