To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Know or listen to those who know.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

You never know what motivates you.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
