Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Leap, and the net will appear.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

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