To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Good composition is like a suspension bridge - each line adds strength and takes none away.
