Know or listen to those who know.
Who seeks shall find.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Never complain and never explain.
Put a bridle on thy tongue set a guard before thy lips, lest the words of thine own mouth destroy thy peace... on much speaking cometh repentance, but in silence is safety.
