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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Know or listen to those who know.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
