Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

After a storm comes a calm.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Only the educated are free.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
