Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
