To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

If you think you can do it, you can.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
