Know or listen to those who know.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Only the educated are free.
