Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Always desire to learn something useful.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Know or listen to those who know.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
