To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I can, therefore I am.
The idea that men are created free and equal is both true and misleading: men are created different they lose their social freedom and their individual autonomy in seeking to become like each other.
