To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Who seeks shall find.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
