Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Well done is better than well said.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
I can, therefore I am.
I wrote somewhere during the Cold War that I sometimes wish the Iron Curtain were much taller than it is, so that you could see whether the development of science with no communication was parallel on the two sides. In this case it certainly wasn't.
