Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

You never know what motivates you.

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

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
