Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Only the educated are free.
Who seeks shall find.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Know or listen to those who know.
It's always too early to quit.
