Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Well done is better than well said.
Never complain and never explain.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
We remained at our encampment of this day until the morning of the 7th, when we descended ten miles lower down and encamped on a spot of ground where several thousand Indians had wintered during the past season.
