Know or listen to those who know.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
