Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
After a storm comes a calm.
I can, therefore I am.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Only in dreams, in poetry, in play do we sometimes arrive at what we were before we were this thing that, who knows, we are.
