Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Know or listen to those who know.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Always desire to learn something useful.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
