If you've got a talent, protect it.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
