To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
You never know what motivates you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Only the educated are free.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I can, therefore I am.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Well done is better than well said.
A wise government knows how to enforce with temper, or to conciliate with dignity.
