To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

After a storm comes a calm.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
