To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
