Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
