Who seeks shall find.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
