Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Know or listen to those who know.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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