Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

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

After a storm comes a calm.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
