Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Only the educated are free.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I can, therefore I am.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
It couldn't sound like a dog, because K9 isn't a dog, but I made it sound as mechanical as possible.
