To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
I can, therefore I am.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Know or listen to those who know.
Never complain and never explain.
