To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
My truth - what I believe - is that there are no answers here and, if you are looking for answers, you'd better choose the question carefully.
