To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Know or listen to those who know.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
All we need, really, is a change from a near frigid to a tropical attitude of mind.
