To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

It's always too early to quit.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Well done is better than well said.
