Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Never complain and never explain.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Only the educated are free.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The first draught serveth for health, the second for pleasure, the third for shame, and the fourth for madness.
