If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
One must never look for happiness: one meets it by the way.
