To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Always desire to learn something useful.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

It's always too early to quit.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

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

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
