Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
You never know what motivates you.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Mine are the deep-seated fears established when we are children, and they never quite go away: the fear of being helpless, the fear of being trapped, the fear of being out of control.
