Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
