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

Never complain and never explain.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

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

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Know or listen to those who know.
