It's always too early to quit.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Know or listen to those who know.
