The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Know or listen to those who know.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
