If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Know or listen to those who know.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light.
