Know or listen to those who know.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I can, therefore I am.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Wisdom alone is true ambition's aim, wisdom the source of virtue, and of fame, obtained with labour, for mankind employed, and then, when most you share it, best enjoyed.
