Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Who seeks shall find.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
I can, therefore I am.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Affliction is the wholesome soil of virtue, where patience, honor, sweet humility, and calm fortitude, take root and strongly flourish.
