Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

Always desire to learn something useful.

Know or listen to those who know.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
