Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Know or listen to those who know.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
You never know what motivates you.
Who seeks shall find.
