Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Never complain and never explain.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
