Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
I can, therefore I am.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Leap, and the net will appear.
After a storm comes a calm.
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.
