The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Know or listen to those who know.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
