To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Never complain and never explain.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

You never know what motivates you.
