Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I can, therefore I am.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Only the educated are free.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If a politician murders his mother, the first response of the press or of his opponents will likely be not that it was a terrible thing to do, but rather that in a statement made six years before he had gone on record as being opposed to matricide.
