To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Know or listen to those who know.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

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

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

You never know what motivates you.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
