The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Never complain and never explain.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Know or listen to those who know.
