To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Who seeks shall find.
Know or listen to those who know.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Well done is better than well said.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Solitude can be used well by very few people. They who do must have a knowledge of the world to see the foolishness of it, and enough virtue to despise all the vanity.
