Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

If you think you can do it, you can.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

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

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Know or listen to those who know.
