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

Never complain and never explain.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

Know or listen to those who know.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
