Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

You never know what motivates you.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
