Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Always desire to learn something useful.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
