Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
