Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Only the educated are free.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
It's really sad that the kids today can only relate to Beethoven via a rock version of his music.
