Either you run the day or the day runs you.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
