To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
After a storm comes a calm.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
You never know what motivates you.
I can, therefore I am.
I'm someone who's done the opposite of whatever the received wisdom is, to keep your career going into your 50s.
