Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Only the educated are free.

If you think you can do it, you can.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
