If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Who seeks shall find.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
