By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
