Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
After a storm comes a calm.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Who seeks shall find.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
One reason the human race has such a low opinion of itself is that it gets so much of its wisdom from writers.
