To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
