To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Leap, and the net will appear.
It's always too early to quit.
Who seeks shall find.
Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
No marriage can stand up under the strain of incessant association.
