Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

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

You never know what motivates you.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
