Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Know or listen to those who know.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
