To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

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