The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
You never know what motivates you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
