To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
You never know what motivates you.
Only the educated are free.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true.
