Never complain and never explain.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Only the educated are free.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Who seeks shall find.
