To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Only the educated are free.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
You never know what motivates you.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
It's always too early to quit.
Well done is better than well said.
Each has its lesson for our dreams in sooth, come they in shape of demons, gods, or elves, are allegories with deep hearts of truth that tell us solemn secrets of ourselves.
