Know or listen to those who know.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Distinctions between citizens solely because of their ancestry are by their very nature odious to a free people whose institutions are founded upon the doctrine of equality.
