Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Only the educated are free.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Well done is better than well said.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Tell me not of joy: there's none Now my little sparrow's gone He, just as you, Would toy and woo, He would chirp and flatter me, He would hang the wing awhile, Till at length he saw me smile, Lord! how sullen he would be!
