Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Well done is better than well said.

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

Always desire to learn something useful.
