To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
After a storm comes a calm.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Those who wish well to the State ought to choose to places of trust men of inward principle, justified by exemplary conversation.
