To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Never complain and never explain.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
