To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

I can, therefore I am.

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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
