Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Never complain and never explain.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
