To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Know or listen to those who know.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

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