To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

It's always too early to quit.

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

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

After a storm comes a calm.

You never know what motivates you.
