After a storm comes a calm.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Never complain and never explain.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
