To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

After a storm comes a calm.

Well done is better than well said.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
