Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

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

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Never complain and never explain.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

You never know what motivates you.
