To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Who seeks shall find.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

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

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
