To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Know or listen to those who know.
Well done is better than well said.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
