If you've got a talent, protect it.
Who seeks shall find.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
After a storm comes a calm.
There is even a happiness - that makes the heart afraid.
Some minds improve by travel, others, rather, resemble copper wire, or brass, which get the narrower by going farther.
