The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Well done is better than well said.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Know or listen to those who know.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
