Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

I can, therefore I am.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

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

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

After a storm comes a calm.
