To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
