To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
It's always too early to quit.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
There is even a happiness - that makes the heart afraid.
Some minds improve by travel, others, rather, resemble copper wire, or brass, which get the narrower by going farther.
