To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Always desire to learn something useful.
I therefore beg that you would indulge me with the liberty of declining the arduous trust.
