Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

It's always too early to quit.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
