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

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Never complain and never explain.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
