If you've got a talent, protect it.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Never complain and never explain.

I can, therefore I am.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
