To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Never complain and never explain.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Well done is better than well said.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
