If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

After a storm comes a calm.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
