If you've got a talent, protect it.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

It's always too early to quit.

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