If you've got a talent, protect it.

Well done is better than well said.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Never complain and never explain.
