If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Always desire to learn something useful.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
