Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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

You never know what motivates you.

Know or listen to those who know.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Well done is better than well said.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.
