Either you run the day or the day runs you.

I can, therefore I am.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

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

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
