Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
