To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Only the educated are free.
