Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Know or listen to those who know.

It's always too early to quit.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Never complain and never explain.

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