Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
Only the educated are free.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
