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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Never complain and never explain.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
