By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Know or listen to those who know.

I can, therefore I am.

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

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.
