To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Only the educated are free.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Who seeks shall find.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
