Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Only the educated are free.
As human beings we do change, grow, adapt, perhaps even learn and become wiser.
