To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
It's always too early to quit.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The mind is like a richly woven tapestry in which the colors are distilled from the experiences of the senses, and the design drawn from the convolutions of the intellect.
