To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
You never know what motivates you.
Only the educated are free.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The test of good manners is to be patient with the bad ones.
Jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire.
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
