If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

Never complain and never explain.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Well done is better than well said.
