To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Well done is better than well said.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Why not collect and clean chicken wishbones in the run-up to Christmas, spray them silver and use each to pinch together a white hem-stitch napkin?
